Ambien vs. Trazodone: Which is Best for Sleep?
Ambien (zolpidem) and Trazodone are two commonly prescribed medications for sleep disorders, but they work differently.
Ambien is a sedative-hypnotic specifically designed to treat insomnia by acting on GABA receptors in the brain, promoting sleep. It is fast-acting and effective for short-term use but can lead to dependence, tolerance, and next-day drowsiness. Common side effects include dizziness, headaches, and, in rare cases, sleepwalking or memory issues.

Trazodone, originally an antidepressant, is often prescribed off-label for insomnia. It works by increasing serotonin levels and has sedative properties. Unlike Ambien, Trazodone is not habit-forming, making it a preferred option for long-term use. However, it may cause grogginess, dry mouth, and low blood pressure.
Which Is Best for Sleep?
Short-term, severe insomnia: Ambien is more effective but should be used with caution due to dependency risks.
Chronic insomnia or anxiety-related sleep issues: Trazodone may be better due to its safety for long-term use and lower risk of addiction.
The best choice depends on individual needs, medical history, and doctor recommendations. Always consult a healthcare provider before choosing a sleep aid.
